And it's all heading our way from Texas...feels pretty good this morning...low humidity and may not even hit 90 today! More rain expected this weekend but we'll be at the camp in Grand Isle.

I float like a rock. No one could ever figure out why I can't float, other than I must not completely relax. I try to float and slowly go to the bottom.

I have a brother-in-law like you and he always jokes that it's not swimming -- it's trying to stay alive in the water.....

I can go across our pool a couple of times, but tire out. As a kid, I bet I took swimming lessons 5 times. Still could sit on the bottom.

Not really water vapor....

As a base they use vegetable glycerin or propelene glycol and who know what if any damage is cause when inhaling the vapor...

In my daughter's pool I go a few laps and can barely catch my breath with this COPD I have. I actually get less winded doing the backstroke...all the rest of the family swim like fish!

When they get breathing problems later on in life they'll realize how stupid they were.

I haven't been to Rapid City since I attended the School of Mines early in my college career. I'd really like to get my son out to see Mount Rushmore, but it's such a long way to go just to get there that it's not really conducive to a family vacation leaving from Texas.

We're taking the wife's sister and her extended family from New York and Maryland down to Grand Isle this weekend and show them how to have a good time. Boiling crabs and crawfish...frying fish and shrimp. They've been living up in Yankee land too long and we don't want them to forget how we live down here!
